We use optimality models to predict optimal reproductive tactics in fish under varying densities/ social factors. We then use simulations to project fitness outcomes & population dynamics, apt for species facing density changes or low density pressures.
The use of color vision in foraging in Lessert's Rainbow Spider
We use prey color manipulation techniques and foraging trials to determine if color vision is utilized to enhance foraging efficiency in Lessert's Rainbow Spiders
Understanding the role of FRG1 in cancer angiogenesis
We used in vitro, in-vivo and ex-ovo techniques to understand if FRG1 gene acts to increase or reduce angiogenesis
Understanding intrasexual and intersexual conflicts in Rock Agamas
To understand the mating system and the evolutionary pressures arising due to male-male as well as female-female conflicts in Rock Agamas
